FlNeER-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 333,696, dated January 5, 1886.

Application filed March 18, 1885.

T0 aZZ whom it' may concrn:

Be it known that I, OTTO THIE, of Union Hill, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Finger-Ring, of which the following specification is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an improvement in finger-rings, and more particnlarly to the manner of attaching a letter or other` ornament to the stone, and also to the manner of attaching the stone to the head of the ring.

The invention consists in the details of construction hereinafter more fully pointed out.

In the accornpanying (lrawings, Figure lis a sideview ofmy improved finger-ring. Fig. 2is a central section on the line m x, Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a top view-of the stone; Fig. 4, a bottoxn view of the same; Fig. 5, a detail side view of the letter or ornanient upon the stone; Fig. 6, a section of the stone on line y y, Fig. 4; and Fig. 7, an enlarged longitudinal section, through the stone and letter on the line z z, Fig. 3.

'ihe letter a represents the head of a fingerring, and b its shank. c is a stone, of curved or straight surface, and adapted to fit upon the head and between the iianges thereof, as usual. At the two opposite sides which adjoin the shank the head a is perforated, Fig. 2, to admit two pins, d, which are screw-threaded to fit oorresponding screw-threads in the head. The ends of the pins d enter two small recesses formed within the stone c, and thus hold the stone in place. I prefer to make the heads of Serial No. 159,266. (No model.)

| pins d of ornamental design, so that they present the appearance of rosettes or the like. The heads of pins d may, if desired, be countersunk into head a.

In order to attaeh an ornarnent, e, to the stone c, I provide the ornament e with two small tubes,f, Fig. 5, which enter two corresponding perforations, g, extending entirely through stone c. The lower ends of these perforations are countersunk, Fig. 6, and after the tubes have been introduced their lower ends are spread by a suitable tool against the fiaring walls of the perforations g. In this way the ornament e is properly secured in place.

I claim as niy invention* 1. The combination of a finger-ring having head a, perforated at the flanges which adjoin shank b,with stone c, recessed at opposite sides, and with pins (Z, substantially as spec'ified.

2. The combination of a fingerering having head a, perforated at the flanges which adjoin shank b, with reces'sed stone c, and screwthreaded pins d, having ornarnental heads, substantially as shown and described.

8. The combination, in a finger-ring, of recessed head a, With stone c, having countersunk perforations g, and with pins d and ornament e, having tubes f, substantially as specified.
